Sinanju WKL — windz x Trailblazer

Sinanju WKL PCBs — Felix Jen

Released on June 10, 2022


Sinanju WKL

Sinanju is a one-piece 60% Winkeyless (WKL) keyboard that redefines the capabilities of the classic gummy o-ring mount. The PCB and plate for Sinanju were designed to uniquely to provide the most optimal support for WKL blockers. Sinanju sports a brand new set of mounting posts, crafted to perfectly balance the stiffness across the keyboard. Assembly screws for the brass accents and weights were moved from external surfaces to internal mounting points, creating a sleek, screwless appearance once assembled. And to finish off this masterpiece, Sinanju sports a new polished anodized finish in crimson red, inspired by Full Frontal and his mecha unit MSN-06S Sinanju.

The Sinanju WKL PCB was designed with wraparound gold edge plating and clear soldermask on top of black core FR4.
